I'm using 386bsd on my 486 box (Tri-Star 486DX2-66 VL-Station with 16MB RAM, 340MB HD and ATI Ultra VLB (it will be sold soon, anyway)) right now. Since I don't have enough disk space and ATI Ultra isn't supported by XFree86, I'm not running X11. But it should work when I have my another drive repared and get an S3 805 VL VGA card. >Thanx - gjn (signature deleted) Ken Nakata -- /* I apologize if there are incorrect, rude, and/or impolite expressions in this mail or post.
